Cost Quality Management Assessment for the Fernald Environmental Management Project. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:10181899
The Office of Engineering and Cost Evaluation (EM-24) conducted a Cost Quality Management Assessment (CQMA) at the Fernald Environmental Management Project (FEMP) on July 15--26, 1991. The CQMA Team, composed of subject specialists from the Department of Energy (DOE) and the private sector used performance objectives and criteria (POCs) to assess the state of cost-management activities at FEMP. The operating structure at FEMP has changed significantly since 1991 when FEMP was a production site served by a Management & Operations (M&O) contractor. FEMP is now a remediation site and served by the Fernald Environmental Restoration Management Corporation (FERMCO). In addition to this major transition from a production to a restoration site, functions at FEMP that had been under the aegis of the Oak Ridge Operations Office are being transferred to the newly formed Ohio Field Office in Miamisburg, Ohio (Mound). The FEMP Round 2 CQMA, conducted March 14--25, 1994, served to review FEMP`s cost and cost-related management practices against POCs contained in the CQMA Site Handbook (Rev. 2). The interviews and document reviews conducted by the CQMA Team show that FEMP has made significant and commendable progress when measured against the POCS. Of the 58 POCs FEMP meets 30, partially meets 20, and does not meet only 8.
